Sketch 9-13

Hello everyone!Sooooo pleased you bring you a brand new free, fun sketch for your inspiration, and the "takes" of our Guest Designer, Angela Fehr and the Sketches: Creatively Yours Design Team!Here's the latest Sketch, created just for YOU!

The inspiration piece this week is a beautiful photo of a sunset. It was taken from our back deck on a Nova Scotia winter's evening in February.

'NS Sunset' Inspiration photoCredit: Kate MacDonald

The challenge this week was to use this gorgeous photo to inspire a layout.For example, this could promote textural, colour, shape, or topic inspiration,
or anything that makes you feel creative. Please be sure to tell us what you took from the inspiration piece when you post it to your blog and link it below using Mr. Linky. We'll be by to peek and leave you some "loves"! Here's the beautiful interpretation of our Guest Designer, Angela Fehr!

Our Design Team also came up with some great ideas for using this sketch and inspiration piece, so let's keep going!!

"The Karate Kid" layout created by S: CY Design Team MemberElisha Pharr

Elisha told me that she took her inspiration "from the beautiful reds, blues, and black in Kate's
breathtaking photo. I tied those colors in with my choice of papers and accents
on the karate 3-D stickers used on my Layout. This is my Gavin, G-Man, getting
his yellow belt in January of this year."

"Will You Guide The Sleigh Next Week?" layoutcreated by S: CY Design Team Member Patchi Moussatche

Patchi told me that she took her inspiration from the winter theme of the photograph. :)

Karen said that she was inspired by the horizon and the clouds in the photograph. "Once again, the sketch
fit perfectly for a horizon view my son took in Ireland. Those puffy clouds,
one of the days it did not rain day. You can see traces of a storm if you look
closely."

Journaling reads: Patrick, a
complete sweetheart, was a Percheron/Thoroughbred cross. Standing 18 hands high,
he was the largest horse that many of us at Rohan Wood Stables had ever seen,
let alone ridden. He was black in color with three white socks, and had a
striking number 1 shaped blaze running down the length of his face. I had the
opportunity to ride Patrick when his owners were kind enough to loan him to me
for my C1 level Canadian Pony Club Testing, as Grace was not quite ready for
that level of technicality. Although he was very lazy while being ridden, he
was calm and aimed only to please. Sadly, Patrick passed away from colic at the
age of 6, several months after these photos were taken. He was loved by all, and
will always be remembered as a gentle giant.

For my layout, I took the purple-y grey from the clouds in the photo as my inspiration.Here's Mr. Linky-- You can use him to post your creation so that we can then go see your work and leave you some love. Everyone enjoys that! :)
